So I am getting an MRI today so I had to go back to my moms house. I had an hour to kill and she just has the most basic cable plan in the world so I just turned on the tv to channel 2 and was going to go up from there and hope I could find something. Well, I accidentally hit down and she gets random local channels and on channel 994-1, which is a lake mills, wisconsin local channel, Disc Golf Live is on. I know it is just some shit local channel, but it was still cool.

Disc Golf Live's niche is public access cable TV stations. Local cable companies have a duty to provide these channels, with free access to programming from the community. Any disc golfer can contact Disc Golf Live and learn how to get DGL shows broadcast in their locality.

True dat. Drop me a line if seeing DG on your local TV station sounds good to you.

The crappy mom 'n pop cable company in my region had a "reporter" come out to a tournament I ran last April and they ran the coverage on their sports program. I haven't seen it yet. I never got around to ponying up the $15 for a DVD.

What's the station? Happy to provide free DG programming if the station rules allow (many do).

I dropped a note to the folks at RCNtv, thanks for the heads up. You might want to sent a note yourself asking about more DG coverage. DGM is already on the schedule, so they know about the sport. I gave them a link to a page where they can download Disc Golf Live at no cost if they like that option, or I'll send them DVDs upon request. I'll keep you posted i I get any feedback.

Take care,

Joe

I've sent the latest episode of DGL to stations and local program submitters across the country. Always happy to set folks up with DVD copies or free downloads to submit for broadcast locally. Lots of local/community/public access stations out there, but we could use more golfers on the local end to submit the program for broadcast.

We also welcome video contributions to DGL, so if you have a story to share, let us know. There are great tales to be told about disc golf, and we'll share yours with millions of potential viewers across the country.

Episode 46 kicks off with action from the Capital City Renegades' 2011 CCR Open, taped at a newly installed course called the Devil's Den in Holt, MI. We'll follow the lead Open group through the final round, with a break to catch up with the top Women and Masters along the way. Action then switches to the nation's top amateurs as we wrap up our series from last summer's US Amateur National Championship from the Toboggan course in Milford, MI. Our shows are on Youtube, here are the links for this episode:

Brad, the easiest way for you to know your options is to check out your station line-up and look for information on the local access stations. Try to get a contact person or website by watching for awhile if you find a station.

I've sent info to the RCN folks, BCR. Did you follow up with any contacts? Its usually far easier to get action when someone locally gets involved.
